Shakhtar Donetsk striker Olanrewaju Kayode has been suspended for three games following his expulsion from Friday’s Ukrainian Premier League encounter against Desna.
The 25-year-old was only making his first start of the season after recovering from the injury that kept him away from the opening stages of the 2018-19 campaign.
In the 64th minute, and with the scores goalless, the former Girona attacker was ball-chasing with Desna’s Maxym Imerekov on the left wing, unbalanced the defender before stamping his thigh, and was subsequently shown a straight red.
The Ukrainian champions, however, went ahead to win the courtesy of a late goal from Maycon to help them maintain their lead at the summit of the league table.
